Histamine intolerance is often misperceived as a diagnosis with a one-dimensional solution aimed at lowering dietary histamines.

I believe that this one-dimensional focus is misconceived. At best this leaves someone who is histamine intolerant managing symptoms. At worst it leaves them ignoring he main source of histamine intolerance.

This beetroot fudge is delicious. Not only that but it is nutritious enough to eat for breakfast.

You can eat it either as a warm pudding (in which case it will not be set) or you can leave it to set in the fridge for a few hours (in which case it will be set). This keeps well in the fridge for a day or so and does not need to be frozen.

I also make this with carrot. Its pretty much the same recipe, but I use mesquite, that has a caramel toffee flavour, rather than the vanilla powder. You could also use ginger.

This Chicken Chow Mein recipe is about as close to Chinese food now as it gets for me.

When I was growing up in Australia in the 70s, Chinese restaurants, were everywhere and exotic. Then I lived in Hong Kong and worked extensively throughout Asia in the 80s. Either way Asian Food has a lot of memories for me.

Unfortunately MSG is one of them. If I eat MSG these days, my eyes immediately puff up with cczema, and I get sick. Glutamates it turns out are processed by the same pathways at histamine, so it can also have a knock on effect to my histamine threshold.

So to continue my trip down memory lane, this is my modified version of the chemical laden version, from my childhood. It is another quick, easy, and nutritious meal and often a favourite with kids. It also appeals to my mish mash meal love.
